No Settler Future, An Anti-Year in Review (sorta)

Join Klee Benally, Chizhii, and Kittie Kuntagion as they close out the colonial calendar year with a raging fire of challenges and agitations that have been at the forefront of anti colonial struggle in 2023.

Night Owls #2: Summer of Sabotage

From It's Going Down

We must learn from the historical mistakes of anti-capitalist strategies that attempted to carve out autonomous spaces or build dual power without also going on the offensive against capital, white supremacy, and the rest of the colonial project. As the essay “Land and Freedom” notes in its discussion of the Back to the Land movement of the 1970s, “the profound need to overcome alienation and reencounter the world will never take us out of harm’s way. If we go to the woods to find peace — not inner peace but an absence of enemies — we’re doing it wrong. Life lived against the dictates of colonization is a life of illegality and conflict” (Sever, Black Seed #1).

Cannibal Metaphysics on Immediatism Podcast

Anarchists have a troubled relationship with anthropology. Many of us are sympathetic to the enduring tribulations of people and worldviews that are indigenous in the onslaught of western culture's hegemony. Eduardo Viveiros de Castro is known for having offered, in the book Cannibal Metaphysics, a vision of anthropology as the "practice of the permanent decolonization of thought." He shows that "Amazonian and other Amerindian groups inhabit a radically different conceptual universe than ours -- in which nature and culture, human and nonhuman, subject and object are conceived in terms that reverse our own. (From the publisher's description)".

from Montreal Counter-Information

Full title: Report-back for Wednesday, October 27, 2021 – Gidimt’en Yintah

On wednesday morning an action was put into effect in response to the posturing of RCMP in Likhts’amisyu territory which is approx 40 km away from the Gidimt’en drill site occupation. The action was in solidarity with Chief Dtsa’hyl who, while acting as an enforcement officer for Likhts’amisyu clan disabled 10 heavy machines which were being used to destroy their unceded territory and build a new road, which CGL says they own. It was assumed by police presence and a variety of other factors that enforcement would occur, and it did. The main objective was to show force, solidarity, and defiance to the incursion of the Canadian state and industry on Wet’suwet’en Yintah.

Burning churches, taking down statues

"Burning churches, taking down statues"

from Antimídia via Contra Info

In different parts of the colonized territories, there's been tearing down, demolishing or destruction of statues of slavers, rapists, colonizers and genociders. Why let go of these symbols? What do they represent? And what values keeps them standing?

Let Empire collapse: why we need a decolonial revolution

from ROAR

Repatriating Indigenous land and organizing anti-state Indigenous-Black-POC Power alternatives is better than pouring resources into the liberal-progressive vote.
